  1. bitz4vitz gets my thumbs up guy who runs it has helped me out loads with mine
  2. err, because its your dog, why lower yourself to other peoples standards
  3. I guess your next question will be 'Has anyone used a .410 in the house to kill spiders' lol! no, but a work mate did use his 9mm garden one to shoot a spider, said it peppered the wall a bit
  4. if they are getting silly replies, then they may be locked, or if the seller is asking for pm's only, yet members are leaving replies, locking a topic, as para has said, leaves pm as the only option
  5. why fiddly, are you worried about the fert nipping whilst doing it up, if so, get them used to the collars at home, all mine know whats going to happen when they see/get a collar put on, and hold still for it Id rather a collar/buckle holding the locator on, rather than a fingers crossed bit of velcro
  6. members are always saying about this, but it is ILLEGAL, read the general license, what reason will you give for shooting crop damage,?, ok, so you may get away with health and safety,but then you have to prove that, but then you also need to show you have tried all other methods to keep them away, shooting- no pest control, humaine dispatch-yes I've used a silenced 410 on fox in a garden, but thats one single shot
  7. go have a look in our ferret section, top right of page you'll find the search function, enter singular words such as housing, courts,feeding,breeding etc you'll get loads of good information there
  8. those are the type that give me earache, used to use very simular on the motorbike, they poured gunk into your ear at motorbike rallies for around £50
  9. my shooting partner had one to many last night, so we cancelled our shooting trip, and I spent some time at essex guns, wanted some ear defenders, after having sold my hushpower and getting a semi, you certainly realise how quiter a hushpower is once shooting a normal shotgun, anyway Ive never been a lover of those plugs that insert into the ear, always end up with a headache, and the muff/plastic types seem too bulky, so I opted for a set of NAPIER PRO9, these just seal the ear, they certainly feel more comfortable that plugs, and less bulky, so were see how they go the other purchase,
  10. some good points there deker, good advice for any newcomer at least if they carry out checks mentioned, anything else could be ironed out as they go along (maintance/cart sizes)
  11. in that case, I'd recomend pedretti, keep and eye out on pidgeon watch, or gun trader, they sometimes come up there, just sold my 12
  12. make sure when fitting poles that you put the "bag" of netting in, a 100yd net, should have 200yds of net on 100yds of line
  13. once you have the metal casing apart, you need to unplug and remove dvd driver unplug and remove fan and housing grab hold of the large heatsink and lift up, its not screwed down what fix did they do on underside of motherboard if theres what looks like 4 sticky pads, these are heat disapaters fix (cheap and dont work) are the x clamps still fitted? two large silver bits of metal, look like big X's if they are still there, none of what Ive said above will work, as the x clamp fix hasent been done this is the website I used, it cost me around £18 to join, to get the instruc
  14. in my experience, ferrets dont simply "lay up" there would be reasons for not leaving the warren 1, stuck behind a dead rabbit 2,staying with a live/dead rabbit sex of the ferret dos'ent come into it, now as long as you have a locator and collar/s, then neither is a problem, simply dig down and retreave ferret and rabbit myself and magwithch once retreaved 4 rabbits in a stop end from this
  15. so the majority of your dislike for them, is, if Im reading your statement correct,is from user error by owners, Im not the best person for cleaning, so thats something I'll have to address myself, and shorter carts, another thing that new owners can easily correct leaving the quality of materials and workmanship, surely as a cheap rough gun, budget priced from new, this has to be expected and as for quality control, surely that could be blamed on the dealership seller each individual gun, as they would be inspecting it, before selling, if something was amiss, would'ent you expect them to no
  16. as already asked, whats it for I have already been down this road, I started with buying a single shot 410 pedretti hushpower, purely for dispatching live trap caught foxes, and for that its a great little tool, very quiet but I then got the bug of shooting pidgeons, and wanted a 12, so brought a single shot pedretti hushpower in 12 bore, but a single shot gets annoying after a while Ive since bought myself a second hand hatsan escort semi (3 shot), great little rough gun in my eyes, simular to marmite, has its lovers and haters, carts cheaper too with the hushpowers, carts w
  17. do you know how to take the case apart with ruining it? if so remove motherboard remove 8 bolts holding the heat sinks in place clean off old thermal paste from both cpu's re apply new thermal paste finger tighten bolts back in place fit motherboard back in bottom of unit add the drive and connect DO NOT RE FIT THE FANS re fit front board and ring board PLUG IN THE POWER SUPPLY AND SWITCH X BOX ON, you'll need a small screwdriver to depress the middle button let the x box overheat(feel heatsinks to make sure its getting hot) leave to overheat for no more than 4 minutes and 15 se
  18. was removed as it had no place in the post it was in, there seems to be a "thing" between you and another member, so it was removed to stop the "handbags at dawn" senerio
  19. its a bit like asking, how long you stay in bed, or how longs a piece of string
  20. sorry coldweld, thought you were slating them,lol maybe I should make a "hatsan escort fan club" Chaps..my position on the Escort is well documented and clear for all to see, I understand there have been some improvements and inevitably there will be the odd one that works. I paint a clear and honest picture from experience, and, as has also been documented on this site, others share similar experiences. It is another side of the story and needs telling to get an overall opinion. That is what reviews and sites like this are about! The Hatsan does, without any doubt, have mor
